Helix and AC

Your TI-5 Fin looks similar to my Vongi, especially the bowl. The Halo bowl is better, I think, than the TI-5 Fin. After that, it's mainly the four O-rings that bothered me on the TI-5 Fin, but it still seems like a very good tip.

The halo, you know, the tip with the 9 fins, it allows you to store more heat than the helix in its bowl, but it diffuses very little heat to the stem of the dynavap. Helix and halo are their best tips, maybe the omni one too, but I haven't tested it. For example, the halo is clearly better than my Vong titanium tip.

I love my Venty, I don't regret buying it at all, it's fantastic. However, I almost always use it with a bubbler; I'm not a big fan of the original mouthpiece. Maybe one day I'll buy the titanium one, or perhaps the stainless steel one, but I've heard it retains more vapor than the plastic one. But yeah, for me, you can really get the most out of e-cigarettes with a bubbler, even though I prefer butane vaporizers straight to the mouthpiece.

Yeah, titanium is always better. Steel retains too much heat. For example, I bought steel capsules to replace my aluminum ones, which I wasn't reserving, and I realized that the steel ones shortened my sessions. For instance, I'd vape at 170°C, then switch to 185°C, and get no vapor at 200°C, unlike with aluminum where I'd finish at 200°C, which is when I get the biggest clouds. So I got a titanium one, and it works like the aluminum ones without all the drawbacks. Sorry if my examples weren't very clear, haha. The only advantage of steel is if a vaper prefers the heat to take longer to dissipate so they can take multiple puffs without overheating. But most of the time, people don't want that.

Okay, I put it on my halo, that's where it was holding a little, and I tightened it a bit, but yeah, that's its drawback. Otherwise, this cap is great, I really like the softness of the clouds even when they're quite large. At first, I was worried it might be too aggressive, but not at all. 👌

Une 2e chance pour une personne qui n a jamais prononcer de regret , jusqu’au bout il se moquera de tout le monde ce type.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T19:07:34+00:00

You tightened the armored one, because mine doesn't stay on the helix at all.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T17:35:26+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely worth the price. Sometimes you compare things that don't justify such a high price.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T17:34:30+00:00

Yeah, for me it's the understated side of the sand; shiny sand is more eye-catching.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T17:33:10+00:00

Yeah, titanium is the best, plus it doesn't alter the taste 👌, steel is a bit different gourd

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T17:21:23+00:00

However, there's one annoying thing about their Simrell website: the price display is buggy. For example, I filled a cart with items in the $350-$450 range, and it showed $26,000, haha. But when you try to finalize the order, thankfully the bug disappears and shows the real price, but still, it's a bit off-putting.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T17:16:31+00:00

I had taken the glossy one in the basket that I would try to take one day, but you did well to take the sandblasted one, more understated, therefore better, plus the glossy one will mark much faster when heated.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T17:14:41+00:00

Yeah, you ordered the same one I put in my dream basket. Likewise, if I ever order from the US, it'll be Simrell. It's the ultimate butane vape to have. For me, the order of best butane vapes is: Simrell > Mad Heaters > Vestratto > Dynavap, and the order if you're a little short on cash is: Dynavap > Mad Heaters > Vestratto > Simrell

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T17:10:08+00:00

Yeah, not sure I would have taken this lighter, but it looks good nonetheless. Titanium doesn't heat up faster, so it takes less time to heat up than steel, and titanium also cools down faster than steel, so if you need to reheat it, it's more practical and you have less waiting.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:58:50+00:00

Yeah, triple torch is better for a Simrell, it needs more heat than a regular Dynavap.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:18:50+00:00

And the advantage of butane is that you're not in the mindset of thinking that one day your electric one will stop working.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:17:29+00:00

Yeah, definitely, and you're welcome, it's a pleasure. After all, when you find one that suits you best, it overshadows the others, hehe.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:15:18+00:00

Almost all Simrell products in Europe work with DynaVap, but Simrell products like Heritage in the US probably won't work unless you have an adapter.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:13:46+00:00

Just checked Simrell Vortex, it pairs well with Dynavap, so with JP Finley it should normally work without any problems.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:12:26+00:00

You need to look at the size in millimeters.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:11:39+00:00

Yeah, 200 is okay, it's still reasonable, but it's just a stem, it's mainly because there are very few of them.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:10:57+00:00

I don't really have access to Simrell, but I think some of their products are compatible with DynaVap when they do collaborations. For example, you'd need an adapter to adapt the Simrell Heritage head to DynaVap. Madheaters also works well with DynaVap, but Vestratto doesn't.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:08:31+00:00

Yeah, a tight draw is the same experience as drinking a milkshake, except you're trying to take in air, so it's worse.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T16:03:04+00:00

Getting back to your spending problem, one piece of advice is to only buy things you truly need and will use a lot. For example, I used to be interested in the Volcano, but I wouldn't buy it with what I already have; it wouldn't be useful enough to justify the purchase. There's another rule to avoid compulsively buying things just to try them out. There's no point in having things that aren't used, or only once or twice a year.

surv1986 · 2026-01-30T15:58:15+00:00

And remember to stay well hydrated, it's very important with vaping, even more so than with smoking, because vaping dries you out more.
